2) As a repeat encounter, i.e. First night with Nic in the final scene was first night for Season Two with Nic. Cecilia having used up Ronald and Eason is now into re-runs.

Gender is such an easily debatable thing, and I wouldn't expend energy on starting a war of sexes in a forum like this. There are too few forums that discuss and dissect films like this one and I... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (aircompass) http://lovehkfilm.yuku.com/sreply/3342 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 23:26:46 GMT http://lovehkfilm.yuku.com/reply/3341/t/Twelve-Nights-HK-2000-.html#reply-3341

I saw CC's picture on the refrigerator magnet at the beginning and based on Nic & CC's interaction at the end, it seemed logical that the beginning scene was the ending of their relationship.

However, given the interleaved and interwoven timeline of the story and the flashbacks, it was suggested... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (wongsaurus) http://lovehkfilm.yuku.com/sreply/3339 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 10:23:34 GMT http://lovehkfilm.yuku.com/reply/3338/t/Twelve-Nights-HK-2000-.html#reply-3338

Like Princess D, certain ideas of these "Y2K-heavy" films are already outdated today, but the core idea remains strong - that gender is... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (AlHaru) http://lovehkfilm.yuku.com/sreply/3337 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:01:45 GMT http://lovehkfilm.yuku.com/reply/3336/t/Twelve-Nights-HK-2000-.html#reply-3336 She makes my list of people I would watch in virtually anything (with minor exceptions).

And Nicola Cheung was obviously sour-graping. Hahaha. But she was also right in pointing out Jeannie's (Cecilia) dooming characteristic. But she only pointed it out to bug Eason. Stupid girl. After what SHE did. Hahaha.

They obviously were never a good match and it was a case of dubious "serendipity" that pushed them together. It was opportunism and selfishness on the part of both of them to enter into the relationship -- it filled their sexual appetites.
